Just a tip: even though illegal tint looks cool it is illegal for a reason.

I got graphite 35 which is prety light considering some of the tints out there but u can see through it clearly at night. Guy on sheilds crs in Myaree did mine and it not a bad job and comes with lifetime guarntee. Cost me 220 all up.

I think F1 is the darkest legal available and u can only get that from solace:)

Use DMS Energy on Hutton St is Ossy Park -they are the only authorised 3M automative film fitters in WA apparently and they do an excellent job.

They have a new film called carbon black that look INSANELY dark on the outside, but is still legal and clarity is excellent from the inside.

If you are with the RAC mention it, you get a discount.

i have f1 tint from solace on my mr2 (as seen in the avatar),

it's pretty dark but still good at night. Highly recommend it!

there was a story about a guy in Adelaide who had illegal tint, it was dark and he didn't see a cyclist, cleaned him up and ended up having to foot ALL the compensation bill because of the illegal tint voiding his 3rd party. :eek:

don't know how true it is but i have a major gripe against dark tint anyway, you can't see much at all through the car at intersections when you need to see on comming traffic etc. :cool:

i think i will be going legal, to each their own but for me i think being able to see what is happening around me at night is very important, especially when you do country driving and there are no road lights to help you see whats at 90 degrees. Also having my insurance voided in a crash would be very nasty, cheers for all the replys

yeah mine isnt that dark so i dun think i would get into trouble...i drive with the windows down anyways...

my main concern however is that people might break into the car thinking that there is stuff to steal but in the end all i have is a factory head unit.

what sux is that if those kind of people will just smash your window whether there is something inside or for the off chance of 20cents being left in the ash tray, even if they could see in and see nothing they would probably run a screw driver down the side of your car anyway...their scum...................i hate them all:mad:

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
